Double Chocolate Cookies

These soft, moist cookies are full of health benefits: from the anti-inflammatory action of the cocoa, to the fiber in the flax, and the healthy fats from the avocado and coconut oils. Enjoy these as a grain free, dairy free, guilt free snack!

Preheat the oven to 375F

Combine these ingredients in a Cuisinart type mixer until smooth:
1 ripe medium avocado
2 eggs
1/4-1/3 c honey (depending on taste)
1/4 c melted coconut oil
1 t vanilla
1/4 c ground flax (optional)

In a medium mixing bowl combine the following:
1/2 c cocoa powder
1/2 c almond flour
1/2 t salt
1/2 t baking soda
1 t cinnamon (optional)

Add contents of Cuisinart to the well mixed dry ingredients.

Stir in
1/2 c semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 c chopped walnuts (optional)

Place parchment paper on  2 cookie sheets.  Drop spoonfuls of batter to the desired size (cookies will spread and rise slightly). 
Makes 15-20 cookies, depending on size.

Bake approximately 20 minutes; until firm and dry on top.  Allow to cool before removing from the paper.  Can be stored frozen in an airtight container.
